YES, the shoe survived! Harley is amazingly gentle with his finds, at least NOW he is. Shortly after we adopted him, there were some unfortunate incidents with Lee's reading glasses and one of my ball caps. . . I'm sad to say neither of THOSE survived!

But, Harley doesn't seem to chew on shoes, he just calmly and quietly walks away with them and deposits them somewhere near or on one of his dog beds! Such a funny, sweet dog.
